In honour of International Women's Day, this episode brings together PhD researchers from a range of backgrounds to explore the role of gender in musical traditions and genres (from opera to classical to popular music). Join us as we celebrate the voices of women in music research, dive into everything from Kendrick Lamar’s iconic Super Bowl performance to Dolly Parton’s timeless legacy, and share a few of our personal listening gems along the way! You can find these gems in the accompanying Spotify playlist . About the participants: Adrianna Chmielewska is a first-year PhD student at Kingston University. Her research focuses on adaptation of literature into opera as a reflection of Italian cultural identities. Looking at the development of opera from the 17th to the 21st century, she investigates how turning stories into opera communicates with Italian culture and society. Adrianna sees opera beyond the elitist stereotype, as a persistent, vibrant and culturally rich means of storytelling. Emma Haughton is a third year student with techne at Kingston University. Her PhD focuses on the intersections of Musicology with English Literature, culture studies, and philosophy exploring women who wrote symphonies during the twentieth century. Her main focus of her thesis is exploring the symphonies of African American composer Florence Price through a postcolonial/transnational lens. Eva Dieteren is a second year Techne-funded PhD student at Kingston University London. Her research sits at the crossroads of feminist theory and popular music studies, with a focus on exploring concept albums through feminist, new materialist, and decolonial perspectives. Felix Clutson is a fourth year Teche PhD student at the University of Surrey. His research explores the production and translation of football museum texts, focusing specifically on the tension between the local representation and global reach of clubs. Isabel Sykes is in her third year of her Techne-funded Sociology PhD at Brunel, University of London. Her project investigates media representations of unpaid domestic labour alongside working-class women’s lived experiences of such work.

Jennifer Doveton - whose lovely music you hear every time you listen to the technecast - is a postgraduate researcher in her third year at Brunel University. Her research is on middle-class subjectivity and moral value in British screen fantasy. At the moment she's looking at the Harry Potter film series and the His Dark Materials television series for markers of class in characterisation and narratives of upward mobility that reproduce neoliberal ideologies of individual aspiration. In this podcast Doveton takes a look at the role of the labour in these portal fictions and how the characters undertaking labour are presented, including their narrative function, relationship to the protagonist, and how they perceive themselves.

Finishing up our theme of life writing, Olivia chats to Al Meggs about his work on reclaiming cabaret.Al trained in dance and went on to a long career through the 1980s and 1990s as performer in cabaret, theatre, T.V. and film, before taking on various guises ‘behind the scenes’. Roles that ranged from stage crew to stage manager to production manager and dresser to wardrobe assistant to costume supervisor.Now, a second year creative writing doctoral student at the University of Brighton. Al's creative practice thesis, 'Reclaiming cabaret. A queer haunted autoethnography of real, researched and imagined stories of cabaret past and present' is in two parts. The creative element 'Blond Angel' is an autoethnographic novel recalling the life of a young male dancer in a small touring cabaret dance company in Italy in the 1980s, acknowledging an undocumented period in dance history. It also stories people and places from the origins of the modern cabaret in fin-de-siècle Paris, bringing the past and present together in a magically real space, where real, researched and imagined lives meet, haunt and interact within Al's lived experience. The critical element focuses on evolving unconventional approaches to autoethnographic and academic writing that resists the traditional patriarchal discourse of academic narratives. The podcast gives a glimpse into Al's life in Italy and the commercial dance world of the 1980s, and how he found himself, later in life, transforming from dancer to writer. It also touches on how Al uses storytelling to create critical, reflective academic work as a method tochallenge the heteronormative patriarchal discourse of traditional academic narratives.You can learn more about Al's research here: https://research.brighton.ac.uk/en/persons/al-meggs. ---------------Image credit: Mike Hornsby for the 'present day' photo & Al Meggs for the 'past' photo, from 1985.---------------Technecast is a podcast series showcasing research from across the arts and humanities.

In this episode, Morag chats to Rachel Holmes about her research to kick off our theme on senses. Rachel Holmes is a practicing artist and writer currently completing her doctorate project The Language of Birds at Kingston School of Art, supervised by Professor Scott Wilson. Influenced by the work of Georges Bataille, Silvia Federici, Eduardo Kohn and Dale Pendell, The Language of Birds is interested in developing a theory of luck or chance, through which the intelligence of the Other (as nature) expresses itself; historically through ritual practice. In this podcast she sets the context for her research by describing the worldview of "living myth" which was demonized during the medieval witch hunt, laying the foundations for transatlantic slavery, modern capitalism and our contemporary state of disenchantment.www.racheladelineholmes.comIG: @jaguar_birdCover art: "Hazel Grove", textile work by Rachel Holmes referring to a vision-fast undertaken in Donegal, Ireland. --- Episode transcript: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Jn5T_EdDVZWeBmNc-32GdBcU2TBmI0od/view?usp=sharing ---If you would be interested to share your research with us, please do get in touch at technecaster@gmail.com…
Welcome to our first episode in our new series on Life Writing. In this epsiode, Morag chats to Karen about her fascinating research.Karen’s doctoral research explores the lives of former Irish nuns, one of whom is her mother. Her work is located at the interface between a number of disciplines (history, sociology, narrative psychology and Irish Studies) and draws on narrative and life history methodologies to consider these life stories in context. These former nuns entered a religious congregation in 1950s Ireland and Karen’s study considers how they came to re-imagine an alternative self and how they navigated the transgressive process of leaving convent life decades later to re-enter the secular world they had renounced as teenagers. Her research is concerned with representations of the past and how ethical memory can challenge the imposing ideologies of the present. Karen is a principal lecturer in Education at the University of Brighton, UK. Her other research interests include the role of reflective practice in professional becoming and how biographical and arts-based methodologies can lead to transformative learning in Higher Education.---Episode transcript: https://drive.google.com/file/d/14pKXF9Z4RtabjtAX_nHsvBepLXEfdbfF/view?usp=share_link--- If you would like to share your research on this podcast, get in touch at technecaster@gmail.com…
During her artist-residency at the Archive of the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew, Anushka Tay composed a series of music inspired by 19th century plant collection in China. She created four multi-layered, textured pieces which range from an instrumental piano solo evoking Orientalism, to a spoken-word poem collaged with field recordings that she took around Kew Gardens during the summer.In this episode of Technecast, Anushka discusses the way that she navigated her instinctive visceral responses to a colonial-era historical archive, as an artist with East Asian heritage. She became sharply aware of the voices of people who had contributed the knowledge preserved in the archive, but who were rarely named or credited in the sources. By moving from text to sound, her responses to the archival materials convey the emotional experience of reading the documents. Through the act of listening, experience the joy and wonder of collecting gorgeous plants, in foreign and unfamiliar lands.You can listen to the full versions of Anushka's pieces on her Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/anushkatay/sets/curious-miscellaneousBrowse the companion website for Anushka's exhibition at the Archive: https://curiousmisc.anushkatay.co.uk/Find out more about the Miscellaneous Reports Collection at the Archive at RBG Kew: https://www.kew.org/science/our-science/projects/miscellaneous-reportsInformation on visiting the Archive at RBG Kew: https://www.kew.org/science/engage/accessing-our-science/accessing-library-art-archives---www.anushkatay.co.ukAnushka Tay is an artist and researcher working across text, textiles and music.

This is the second episode in our series on Archives. Artist-researcher Eimhin Daly discuss the entangled sites of their research to consider what constitutes an archival relation. Seeing place itself as an archive, they are concerned with practices of relation, specifically with unlearning relations to place and pasts that are produced by imperialism and nationalism in Ireland. ----Bio: Eimhin Daly is an artist-researcher working with performance and writing. They are currently undertaking a PhD in the School of Arts at the University of Roehampton.Their research project emerged from an engagement with site-specific feminist artworks. In following artists Alanna O’Kelly and Anne Tallentire to Connemara on the west coast of Ireland—the artists’ sites of inspiration three decades ago—Eimhin pays attention to intergenerational affinity and difference in considering (hi)stories of displacement in the region. Listening beyond dominant, amplified narratives, they complicate the notion of Irish loss and longing, and make explicit national perpetration and participation in ongoing settler-colonialism.---Technecast:This episode is presented by Julien Clin.The Technecast is funded by the Techne AHRC-DTP, and produced and edited by Polly Hember, Julien Clin, Felix Clutson, Edwin Gilson, Morag Thomas and Olivia Aarons.Contact: technecaster@gmail.com / @technecastMusic composed, performed and generously provided by Jennifer Doveton…
The contributor for this episode is Holly Antrum.This episode was recorded during the exhibition ‘Laura Mulvey and Peter Wollen: Intersections in Theory, Film and Art’, at Camera Austria in Graz (11 June - 14 August 2022). Final-year techne researcher Holly Antrum staged her paper-based artist multiple from within the show, Markéta’s Notes, as a podcast for technecast. Holly Antrum’s project involves filmmaking as an expanded practice. Markéta Hašková is a matrilineal counterpart developed by Holly Antrum to explore the navigation of archives through foregrounding interpersonal collection searches with subjectivity and tactility. She has used the medium of audio recordings that she makes and collects in her research, to underscore this episode, and shares and reflects upon Markéta’s Notes as a recently published aspect of her research. All recording in this episode has been produced in the locality of the project by the researcher at study desks including in the BFI archive viewing desk set within the BFI Southbank Reuben Library.The podcast introduces how she has engaged with conceptualizing a project centring on layers of real and fictional presences in the archive: originating through attending the archive at the BFI, and developing narration for feminist ‘fictioning’ and stepping back into the personal voice of the feminist artist-researcher. Markéta’s Notes was commissioned by the exhibition curators Nicolas Helm-Grovas and Oliver Fuke and by Camera Austria.

She works with lens-based media including 16mm film, as well as sound, print and writing, and her works approach public and closed live settings. A consistent theme is an attempt to capture tactile histories, while shifting how a document – written, sonic, or visual – might speak through its context and thereby reveal how certain spaces and landscapes are inhabited with meaning and influence.Her work has been shown widely in the UK and internationally, in galleries, DIY spaces, cinemas, online and in print, and is held within public and private collections. Her artist films are distributed by LUX Artists’ Moving Image and she is currently completing a techne AHRC-funded practice-based PhD with Special Collections at the British Film Institute, in partnership with Kingston School of Art. www.hollyantrum.com---Technecast:This episode is presented by Felix Clutson.The Technecast is funded by the Techne AHRC-DTP, and produced and edited by Polly Hember, Julien Clin, Felix Clutson, Edwin Gilson, Morag Thomas, and Olivia AaronsContact: technecaster@gmail.com / @technecast / @pollyhember / @ClinJulienMusic composed, performed and generously provided by Jennifer Doveton…
This special episode of Technecast was made for the Techne-funded 'Cultivate' conference, hosted at Kew Gardens, London, on November 10. The episode, 'There Are More Spaces Still to Come', is a 'Cultivate' special feature produced by Techne student Judah Attille, one of the conference organisers. In conversation with Judah, multidisciplinary artist Shenece Oretha speaks about sonic interventions and knowledge production in her installation, In Counter Harmony, staged in the Tin Tabernacle Kilburn and created for Brent Biennial 2022, In the House of my Love.Cultivate aims to reflect on the many areas we strive to cultivate – as Techne researchers, as practitioners, as communicators, as individuals, and as part of wider communities. Cultivate is a student-led event seeking to provide opportunities to put these forms of cultivation into action. The breadth of topics includes land use and misuse; plants and interactions with nature; cultivating skills, networks, and research; and creating space for the practical and caring aspects of cultivation. The conference is structured around panel discussions on the themes of cultivating knowledge, networks, and wellness. This event aims to provide a momentary space to not only reflect on the ‘effort’ and ‘work’ aspects of cultivation, but also on those aspects that nourish and help.Shenece Oretha (she/her, they/them) is a London based multidisciplinary artist sounding out the voice and sound’s mobilising potential. Through installation, performance, print, sculpture, sound, workshops, and text she amplifies and celebrates listening and sound as an embodied and collective practice. Recent works include: In Counter Harmony, Brent Biennial, 2022Ah So It Go, Ah No So It Go, Go So! Curated by Languid Hands for Cubitt Gallery, 2022Notes on Play, a response to the British Library Sound Archive, 2021Hyper Functional, Ultra Healthy | Shenece Oretha: Listening Wholes, Somerset House Studios, 2021Judah Attille (she/her, they/them) is an independent filmmaker and Techne PhD candidate based at UAL Chelsea. Her interest in the sonic register of research output has benefited from a series of Techne audio editing and podcast workshops that consider sonic technology and sonic aesthetics, hosted by Techne alumna and Technecast founder Jo Hutton. In her collaborative practice experience with other Techne students, Technecast has offered Attille a unique platform for building and sharing knowledge bases between institutions within and beyond the Techne research community.In Counter Harmony excerpts courtesy of artist Shenece Oretha and Metroland Cultures Brent Biennial 2022.Special Thanks to Shenece Oretha for her contributions to post-production on There are more spaces still to comePhoto Credit: Detail from In Counter Harmony, Tin Tabernacle, September 2022, by Judah AttilleA transcript of 'There Are More Spaces Still to Come' can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nkty5iuZTCn4XHA24rW25WeMJ8LNZYke/view?usp=share_linkA transcript of Shenece Oretha's 'In Counter Harmony' can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uU2X05AwbF8VdzF4EEyjyHWMV7-ARQhr/view?usp=share_link…
